Trailheads: The Oregon Trail's Origins (MinnMax's Documentary/Charity Drive)

Added 2020-10-16 16:29:00 +0000 UTC

Hello Patreon supporters! If you've been listening to BetterQuest, you know that I've been working on a documentary for a while now... and it's finally done! It's called Trailheads: The Oregon Trail's Origins. With the first documentary from MinnMax, we travel back to 1971 to tell the surprising story of how a college project from Bill Heinemann, Paul Dillenberger, and Don Rawitsch was donated to the state of Minnesota and its organization MECC and went on to become one of the most celebrated games of all time.

Since the documentary is about the power of teaching, programming, and selflessness, we've bundled the documentary with a charity drive for New Vision Foundation. This immigrant-led nonprofit is teaching underprivileged kids in Minnesota how to code to help decrease the racial income disparities in Minnesota.
